In the former protectorate that now two new states claimed for themselves, Tikalian troops prevented large-scale access to weapons stores, citing the need for an agreement between the governments first before permitting access to all stores. For the time being, a total of 50,000 troops of each of the new entities were permitted to equip themselves with small arms. Access to vehicles, aircraft, ships, and heavier armaments such as grenade launchers or anti-air weaponry was denied until the Principality officially recognised the respective state.

 

Tikal's forces in teach region numbered 30,000, supported by 100 tanks and 5 helicopter squadrons. They worked, as they had in the past, with police forces in local areas to keep the peace and order.

 

As several decades had passed in Tikal's protectorate, few if any civilians owned anything heavier than hunting rifles or handguns. The gun laws in Tikal's protectorates were different from the laws in Tikal proper, for a reason.

Just in case, Michoacán Command was moved from Hawaii to a Caribbean port.

"Always be wary of any helpful item that weighs less than its operating manual."

Technology always marched on, and it was no different when dealing with Alenium Alloys. New advancements with Harmony technology and specialised control system based on recent findings in quantum technology allowed a much greater speed in creating alloys of all kinds. Using the interaction between Alenium and hard-light shields, the cooling process could be controlled much more easily, in turn permitting faster production of the materials. The nano-scale and in parts even quantum-scale interactions between the material and the cooling technology also permitted preparing it for different roles and shapes practically on the fly.

This process was completely new, with the only one vaguely similar being stamped (or pressed) metal sheets. But in truth, he end result was higher in quality than anything previously made from the alloys, and didn't require previously-finished sheets of the metal. The higher quality alloys even was non-crystalline, making it in all likelihood the best that could possibly be made for the time being - until a new, even better material was discovered, that is. But for now, Alenium alloys were without doubt the best material that could be used for nearly anything that was conceivable, be it armour plates, electronics, or machine parts.

The world shook.



It was such a little thing that initiated the end. So small, practically invisible.

It was a simple experiment, one to see how Harmony technology interacted with Alenium crystals under various circumstances. Setting it up went quickly enough. the reactor was five by two metres from above, and just under 2 metres in height, the rings let into the ground, sort of. Two assemblies with Alenium cores had been set up to 'catch' the majority of the energy. How they reacted to the experiment was closely monitored.

The Core had been tested beforehand, and it was found to be working just perfectly. As a Harmony Core should. The Alenium had been chosen for exceptional purity and capacity. This was needed in order to find out whether the caught energy would be absorbed ideally.

The experiment itself was rather simple otherwise. A small batch of Alenium would be introduced to the Harmony Core itself, dropped in time to evade the three rings keeping the Core properly contained.

"Drop prepared, everything in the green. Drop commences in three, two, one..."

it took under a second for the small crystals to fall.

It took even less time for an entire culture, a nation, a people, and all their technological advancements to blink out of reality - displaced to Elsewhere. A place where no creature could ever follow.
